Say bonjour to the new Citroen ë-C3 - a car that could well set a new benchmark for affordability in the small electric car sector.
The e-C3 is about the same size as the forthcoming Volkswagen ID2 and its overall footprint is no larger than the current C3. But while the VW doesn’t go on sale until 2025, you’ll only have to wait until the start of 2024 for this car. Which is great for impatient people like us!
Join Nicola as she drives the new Citroen ë-C3. What do you think? Will Citroen have a winner on its hands? As always, we love you hear your views, so let us know what you think in the comments below.

I really hope people buy this car. Often the we say we want a small cheap car, but we often end up buying a big SUV.

@steveweidig5373 25 дней назад

Speaking of which, Citroen is bringing their Aircross version of the eC3 later this year, which is a bit bigger (about 4,40M in length) but also comes with up to 7 seats, meaning it's both an SUV and a small van. And I doubt it will be that much more expensive than the eC3, probably 25-30k£

I bet the materials in the MG4 feel a lot nicer then what's in this Citroen E-C3 interior.

@JonathanMorris777 Месяц назад

I currently have a 1.2 (non-turbo) C3 and the 0-60 is equally awful, but as it's mostly used for city driving I am more interested in the 0-30 - and on the C3, that's extremely quick before all the power goes. It's not great for joining a motorway on an uphill slip, but otherwise I'm not concerned about that. The e-C3 seems like the perfect replacement for existing C3 owners, which given that's one of the best selling B-segment cars should mean Citroen are going to sell a LOT of these. Possibly the only thing that will put some off is not the range being perceived as too short, but actually too long (hear me out...!). I can see a lot of people waiting for the cheaper model with the smaller battery as even 130-150 on a cold day is more than the 20 miles most people drive. This is a decent, comfortable, practical car - for some the main car, for others a second car - and what the market has been crying out for to ramp up EV sales now pricing is within the reach of the ordinary person. If these go on lease for £160-200 a month, the fact it may be 2p a mile for those charging at home on a suitable tariff, it will be far cheaper than a petrol equivalent. Until now, those doing low mileages have struggled to find a way to break even or benefit from the lower energy cost vs price of the car.

@PaulMeier-cu3ds Месяц назад

Thank you for the review. This car shows just how many of things in more expensive cars you simply do not need, yet still produces a car that is worth driving. I really admire that. Do I want one? No. But could I live with one? Yes.

@BMWHP2 Месяц назад

YESSSS. . . Best video EVER 😁 Thanks, we were waiting for several years for an EV around €25.000. We bought the MAX version with 11kW charger, with the black body / white roof. It has the LFP batteries build by SVOLT, range is 320km, but testers experience that the 320km will be close to real world range (their riding style :) ). No, it is not a 0 to 100 in 5 sec EV, but that was not what we were looking for. It is 11sec, and therefor very economical, also due to the relative low 1400kg. With the 100kW DC charger it is enough for longer travels (we have time to spare) We payed €26.000 due to the last year of €2.950 subsidies in the Netherlands. SUPER happy, will be delivered in October.

This is what the market needs right now. Competitively priced commuter EV's, capable of doing that 20 to 30 mile commute each weekday.....

The Renault R5 Etech prices will start just over €25k, but with the cheapest small battery version. The 400km version wil start around €32.5k and up over €40k. And, it will have the NCM battery.

Fantastic car. Very very impressed. Ticks just about every box you could want for a car or EV. And £22k is CHEAP if you look at the price of any car nowadays EV or ICE. Just no frunk and 1 pedal drive but otherwise I just hope this sells loads for Citroen. And charge port on the best side as can use Tesla SC’s without bay blocking, as loads and loads of those now open to all in the UK (60+ sites now ) and very reasonably priced compared to all other chargers networks. This is proper cheap motoring car right here. And it’s from Europe & not China as well.

@Whatshisname346 Месяц назад

Thanks for a good honest review. I’m sick of motoring journalists droning on about high speed handling and whining about low 0-60 times when most people are just after good solid transport options that won’t break the bank. Love the simplicity of this, especially the cheaper one which comes with a phone cradle and no screen which will probably date really quickly. Would be nice to get a review of the differences to see if it feels comparatively low rent.

@maxnewts Месяц назад

If your situation prompts you to be in need of a car, but you don’t do many miles, and you’re lucky enough to be able to accommodate home charging facilities, the combination of a lower priced car such as this eC3 (or a Dacia Spring EV, for instance) is more than capable of reliably matching to your lifestyle. In fact I’d argue this is the case for a large percentage of the population, but due to (often false) mass media coverage arguing against them many people unfortunately wouldn’t touch them out of principle - which is a shame, because they are very good pieces of equipment. A bonus point (in my view) with EVs is that they’re bringing up the level of build quality for the average car to be of higher standards than previously found, which always helps.

@Mi82475 Месяц назад

Good job with the video. To the point and nice. Really nice car, I'm disapponted by the frunk but hey there will be for sure some aftermarket ones. Before buying i would wait for the crash test.

@FormulaWhine Месяц назад

Why worry about an electrified boot lit, especially at this price? I have never thought “on my next car, I must have a boot that can open and close itself”; it’s a pointless gadget that adds weight and cost for people who just can’t be bothered to close a boot but can close a car door. And for those who say “if you’ve got limited mobility they’re a must” I do understand that use case: but why do the manufacturers then insist on putting the button to close the boot on the boot lid itself which then, for most people with limited mobility, can’t reach it?

@petrbasa5742 Месяц назад

There's so much room under that front hood, it shouldn't be a problem to put some cable basket under there. And the fact that it's not there from the factory is probably just an effort to keep the price down. I certainly commend the LFP battery. For the smaller sizes, this technology is preferable. I just hope it has a good BMS since they ditched the heat pump. For me this size car is not enough, but I welcome another solid addition to the EVs lineup.

The only thing I will say though is I’d like a bit more range (the e208 claims 214 miles but never does more than 180) and if they brought out an ‘extended range’ version with a slightly bigger battery for around £25k, that would be perfect. Looks a great effort though for the price and hopefully the start of many well priced EV’s to come.

@BMWHP2 Месяц назад

It is 45kW with 44kW usable. And due to the very low weight (for an EV) 1400kg, it will be more economical than many EV's with a bigger battery pack. I think the range will surprise a lot of people.

Yes my parents have just got a 71 plate Kona electric premium with 10k miles on it for £18k and a full 5 year warranty. A very good car, comfortable, very powerful and lots of toys. Also has a 280 mile range and makes me very jealous when I drive it coming from my Zoe

I agree if buying, but I'm likely to lease this and I currently have a C3 which is £147 a month, and the top-spec model. I expect the leasing companies will bulk buy the top spec model too and I can hopefully pay under £200 for the e-C3. If I was to buy, I'd wait and get a second hand model with low mileage and expect to pay well under £20k. I've only actually bought a brand new car once in my life! Always smarter to get used, even with near delivery mileage.

I only drive about 500 miles a year... not every year, obviously sometimes I need to do a lot more driving, a few years back i done just over 700 miles in a single year. This is perfect for me; Not fussed about speed, I rarely go over 20mph where I live, I like a deeper load lip on the boot, means when I open the boot my wine does not roll out and smash. And comfort is top of my list of wants, I'd have a RR if they done one in my price bracket. Sure I could go a little upmarket and get a second hand Enyaq, ID 3 or 4, maybe even a polestar or Volvo (I do love me a Volvo/Polestar)... or go and get one of the new Skodas or Kias (Kia EV3🤤), and though I like the idea of driving a £40k+ car, I can't justify it.... so maybe I'll get something like this, or go used, but my choices are starting to improve.

Surely it would be much cheaper for you to just take taxis everywhere!

@Finglebat Месяц назад

@@vernhill-wv7pp You would think; I wanted to meet some friends for lunch, on a Sat afternoon, to travel 1.9 miles (a 7 Min journey) to a local eatery, Uber wanted £23, Local firm wanted £17... needles to say I drove and forgo on the drinking that afternoon with my meal. Joys of living in Outer London.. Public Transport just does not cut it and private hire charge as if they were in Central London 🤷‍♂

I would think a Nissan Leaf would be a perfect car for you. I drive mine around town, never driving more than 35 miles from home (70 miles round trip). It has a deep trunk (boot), so your wine should be safe. In nearly 8 years of ownership, we've managed to put over 37,000 miles on our Leaf. We always charge at home and our cost to charge is anywhere between $4 and $8 per month. It really is a great little runabout.

With that low milage, an old used petrol car would be better. Manufacturing battery packs generates quite a bit of CO2. If you only do short bits, that CO2 never gets compensated. Or a used first generation Zoe or VW e-UP something.

@@drfisheye You should tell Sadiq Khan that... 😆 I have a perfectly good, well maintained, 'very low' mileage vehicle that I planned to use for the next 15 or so years, but he wants to charge me £12.50 a day to go and visit my elderly parents, go to the hospital or pop to the shops, so is forcing me to do more harm to the environment and the kiddywinks lungs, by scrapping it and buying an alternative which will no doubt put more pollutants into the air through it's manufacture or mining for rare earth minerals. Not only am I personally worse off financially, but I'm aware I'm doing more damage to the environment than I would if I were left to keep my car. His ULEZ policy is so poorly thought out in my opinion, alas, one size does not fit all. My plan was to wait another year after these affordable models are released, VW ID2, Citroen eC3, Skoda Elroc/Epic, etc. and see if I can pick one up at a reasonable price. Though I would love an eUP/Mii, I liked the boxy size as it it gave me enough headroom (for my long back), I do have some height and width restrictions and accessibility problems I need to overcome, but the eUp was too small in the rear for my other requirements, Zoe I did not fit in ether, not enough headroom, especially in the rear 😥. @darkenergy5686 I don't think I tried the Leaf, I might go and check it out, thanks.

If you want cheap and cheerful, I think the mid spec Dacia Spring is better value if you can live with a ~100 mile range. Otherwise this seems decent enough.
